Week: 9 # 23 In Summary

Enjoyed the journey around the internet and what it has to offer.
Blogging is interesting. I tried taking my blog a few different ways as someone had a criticism about some of them.
Congratulations to everyone who attempted using this program and completed their Blogs.

Week: 9 # 22 Dowloadable Audio




If you download audio books from internet it won't be interesting. However, the ability for our patrons to download audio books through us, from a site is an interesting concept.The computer plays up even for the most adept user, think fo all the technical difficulities.

Week: 9 # 21 Podcasting

For a library, I think it would be good to podcast interviews with local residents for local history projects, or even podcasts of speakers that come to the library if permission is granted.

Week 8: # 19 Discovering Web 2.0 Tool


RealTravel was my selection.I looked at a few prize winning sites to travel but personally I felt that this was the best as it proved a lot more useful information than just booking flights.There are blogs and forums on all kinds of subject.
They have free trip planner and also travel deals available. I do not think it is applicable to libraries apart from library staff planning their holidays.
This is my link to Realtravel.


Week 8 : # 18 Web - Based Apps / Zoho Writer




I tried to publish from Zoho but it came up with a message saying trouble with Blog posting.

It seemed to have everything you would need for writing. I also looked at some of the templates which seemed good.


It appears that the java script generates a link only to their site and you need to log in to view the document, which sort of defeats the purpose. This is my link to my Zoho.

Week 7: # 17 Playing around with PBWiki

I managed to add my vote for favourite animal to dogs. This was very straight forward and the mystery of a wiki is now solved for me.

I had fun playing with the wiki

A bit of trouble with all the brackets but much easier to cut and paste than to fiddle around with formatting.
